That is not "proof". You would still exist if there was no God.The proof is that I exist, you exist, everything I perceive exists, God is all that is.

You do not understand what is being explained to you, existence is God, God is all that exists, ie., God is Existence.. The word God is a concept that represents the reality of Existence. The word Existence is also a concept that represents the reality of God,That is not "proof". You would still exist if there was no God.
But why is this the form existence takes?No thoughts necessary, nothing can not exist. Science can not provide any hard evidence of nothing, nor can religion.
Existence otoh exists, it does nothing else. Science can not provide any hard evidence of existence never existing, nor can religion.
OK, so we can eliminate any time you use the word God and replace it with "existence" as I did with your quote.You do not understand what is being explained to you, existence is existence, existence is all that exists, ie., existence is Existence.. The word existence is a concept that represents the reality of Existence. The word Existence is also a concept that represents the reality of existence,
So to your question, would I still exist if there was no god/existence? .. nothing* would exist, and so you would not exist to be asking the question.
* nothing actually does not exist.
The mortal mind can not apprehend the whole, whatever our mortal mind's best limited perception allows, it is not the true form.But why is this the form existence takes?
That is either just an empty claim or a demotion of God to next to nothing.You do not understand what is being explained to you, existence is God, God is all that exists, ie., God is Existence..

Yes, but context is always in play in any conceptual expression.OK, so we can eliminate any time you use the word God and replace it with "existence" as I did with your quote.
I take it you have no problem with this, yes?
As you explain it the word "god" doesn't mean anything in a religious context and is not useful. Since you insist the word "god" is synonymous with the word "existence" we will just change the word "existence" any time you use the word "god" just to make sure others aren't confused. Deal?
You probably do understand but are pretending not to because you know that you have lost, hence the attempt to distract because that is what you always revert to when you are out of your depth.That is either just an empty claim or a demotion of God to next to nothing.
I genuinely do not. And neither do you apparently. Knowledge is demonstrable and you have been just preaching. That is telling us what you believe. It is not telling why.You probably do understand but are pretending not to because you know that you have lost, hence the attempt to distract because that is what you always revert to when you are out of your depth.
Science is a human practice. Most of the practice is telling human studies about beliefs. As any item you studied didn't invite said study.You probably do understand but are pretending not to because you know that you have lost, hence the attempt to distract because that is what you always revert to when you are out of your depth.
I repeat my earlier comment for your benefit.I genuinely do not. And neither do you apparently. Knowledge is demonstrable and you have been just preaching. That is telling us what you believe. It is not telling why.
And without some sort of evidence or rational reasoning those are just empty claims. Far more likely to be false than to be true.I repeat my earlier comment for your benefit.
God can not be described by any words.
God can not be measured by any numbers.
God can not be limited by any time.
God can not be circumscribed into any whole.
God is that which is expressed by all that is, the relative miniscule amount of material creation available to human perception is all that science can study, and that can never prove or disprove God. Humans can theorize, hypothesize, and speculate all they want, nothing wrong in that, but the serious student of God merely aspires to be one with God, no beliefs, calculations, imaginations are needed, we are already an expression of God so all that is essential is to realize that truth.
You can theorize, hypothesize, and speculate all you want, nothing wrong in that, God bless you SZ.And without some sort of evidence or rational reasoning those are just empty claims. Far more likely to be false than to be true.
That is what you believe. It does not appear to be what you know.;
And context is important when using language.Yes, but context is always in play in any conceptual expression.
But when you use the word "god" as meaning the same as "existence" then it isn't synonymous to any religious context. In a religious context the word "god" doesn't correspond to anything known to be real or existant.God does mean something in the religious context, but so does every concept used in any verbal exchange given that concepts only represent a reality, but are not actually the reality.
Well there are things we know exist as a category, and there is likely some things that exist that we don't know about. It is important to understand the difference. The word "god" is objectively irrelevant. Your use is your quirkiness.No, existence in the context 'God is existence' implies all existence, known and unknown,
Not in the religious context. But you have been making this claim all along, god is existence. Existence is materially real. Or are you changing your rules yet again due to confusion?God as a concept is not synonymous with the concept of material existence.
Really, I don't exist? Well my mortgage company still expects me to pay next month.The whole is greater than the part, so while it is true that all that exists is existence, a part otoh, you for example, are not existence.
I am not the one making God claims. That would be you. Right now you keep showing us that you only have beliefs.You can theorize, hypothesize, and speculate all you want, nothing wrong in that, God bless you SZ.
You are all over the place. So that we each understand clearly what the other's understanding of the reality represented by the name God is, let's lay it out. You at least have read my explanation, see post #72, now what is your's?And context is important when using language.

Notice I fixed your quote for accuracy and to avoid ambiguity. I'd hate for someone to think you were trying to move goalposts. You wouldn't do that, would you?
It is not about me, when I say God bless SZ, interpret it as a wish for your well being.I am not the one making God claims. That would be you. Right now you keep showing us that you only have beliefs.
Tell me, why should anyone give any credence about anything that you say about God?
You can't show me your god because he does not seem to exist. You can't even support his existence.It is not about me, when I say God bless SZ, interpret it as a wish for your well being.
I can't show you God, you must realize God yourself, that how it works.
If you have not had a subjective spiritual experience, it is not possible for you to know if it is real. Of course you can believe, disbelieve, or be agnostic about such a claim but you can not know. That is your position, accept it.You can't show me your god because he does not seem to exist. You can't even support his existence.
